CHAPTER 164: CHAPTER 165 KUNLUN

Seeing Lu Ren, he said.

"No need to go up; Grandmaster Ji has already dealt with that guy."

The earlier violent fluctuation of the magnetic field was extremely terrifying even to Lu Ren.

Experts at the Bright Awakening Realm, their methods are already akin to ancient rumored Immortal Gods.

He suddenly recalled that if Ksitigarbha in his prime exerted his full strength, what kind of scene would it be for such an ancient legendary figure?

To survive this long relying solely on spirit is undoubtedly the best demonstration of strength.

Unfortunately, the opponent viewed life and death with indifference and unexpectedly passed peacefully away when no longer restrained.

Lu Ren paused, slightly nodded to Ji Heng, then had the Security Bureau find a car to send him to the airport, quickly leaving Qingcheng Mountain, when suddenly a system prompt popped into his mind.

"Ding, you have gained insight into the Ten Lands Mahayana Golden Body Bodhisattva Path, current stage: Beginner."

In an instant, Lu Ren felt his mind filled with truths and intents spanning hundreds of thousands of words, leaving him stunned inside the car for a long while.

Originally, the Ten Lands Mahayana Golden Body Bodhisattva Path was only a mere four thousand six hundred and thirty-five words, yet translating it into layman’s terms surprisingly took nearly three hundred thousand words.

Moreover...

Lu Ren’s face showed a hint of oddity, Ji Quanzhen’s understanding and annotations of the Ten Lands Mahayana Golden Body Bodhisattva Path were entirely in the opposite direction.

Though following Ji Quanzhen’s approach to comprehend this True Skill, one could still cultivate to a profound level, and even further step into Bright Awakening, but ultimately lose its true intent, failing to discern the essence of this spirit-transforming body skill.

There are deeper intentions hidden within, some True Skill or Fist Techniques, sometimes the creator only established a vague idea, yet the system panel regards it as genuine.

Upon discovering that this Fist Technique seemingly does not match its established idea, it spontaneously optimizes it, like the Phoenix Falcon Fist.

The True Phoenix Intent, perhaps the creator only grasped the surface and not as deeply as Lu Ren.

Strictly speaking, the current degree of cultivation of the Phoenix Falcon Fist, even if the creator of the technique came, Lu Ren still has confidence to delve deeper than him.

"Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu?"

Liu Jiang called out twice before Lu Ren returned to his senses.

"What’s up?"

Liu Jiang said, "We have arrived at your drop-off point."

After thanking him, Lu Ren opened the car door and got out, watching Liu Jiang drive away swiftly, then looked at this small military base at the edge of Qingcheng Mountain.

Nearby, a medium-sized transport plane was parked.

There are still some complicated tasks needing follow-up handling of Qingcheng Mountain’s matters, but it was not yet his turn, such a highly skilled person, to guard.

There are experts on Qingcheng Mountain; he merely happened to be there.

As for Kuishan...

Frankly speaking, if the emergency troops were quicker, they could probably obliterate it with heavy firepower, but most likely, it would escape through the complex mountain terrains.

If the opponent were fiercer, detecting bullet trajectories and identifying pre-shooting actions, once he charged into the military formation, with Kuishan’s level of strength, it would cause extremely massive casualties.

Then, figures like Ji Quanzhen and Li Changming at the Bright Awakening Realm, can they indeed disregard artillery fire?

While contemplating in his heart, Lu Ren turned and boarded the transport plane with the guidance of a nearby staff member.

Without any words, only the high altitude roar accompanying them, Lu Ren kept pondering and cultivating the Ten Lands Mahayana Golden Body Bodhisattva Path.

Once the martial arts practiced form into Skills, then it does not need overly systematic pondering, comprehending the Buddhist sect scriptures and intents to progress gradually.

Just by continuously operating, repeatedly meditating, one can increase Skill Level.

Lu Ren could clearly feel his body further strengthening.

That is to say, before stepping into Bright Awakening, when he supposedly had reached the peak state of physical and mental limits, he still had room for improvement.

But it seems it is quite constrained, the Phoenix Falcon Fist is almost at Perfection.

If there is a fierce battle, perhaps it could break the limit.

To initially achieve results in the Ten Lands Mahayana Golden Body Bodhisattva Path, the spirit must reach a mind of Diamond-like Concentration, able to destroy all obstructions, hence named Samādhi likened to Vajra.

Gradually, as the spirit influences the body amidst its own refinement, even without relying on the Skill Level panel, he himself can also glimpse Bright Awakening.

Besides, this understanding led to a truly wondrous Breathing and Exhaling Technique.

Normally speaking, no matter how advanced the Breathing and Exhaling technique is, it merely pertains to altering the body’s Qi, advanced breathing techniques can slowly awaken human potential, gradually improve constitution, and maintain adequate health, strong lungs and organs.

Yet, the system’s comprehension of Breathing and Exhaling technique is extremely mysterious; with every breath, it absorbs a few mystical particles into the body.

With each integration, his Four-dimensional Attributes Skill Level increased to varying degrees,

Divine Skill!

Moreover, these few mystical particles were born out of nothing, but Lu Ren could vaguely sense they were related to his spirit and mind’s Perfection, meaning, it was attracting those strange particles through the spiritual world as a hub.

However, where exactly they are from, he probably needs to step into Bright Awakening to sense it.

Lu Ren did not intend to disclose this matter to the Security Bureau, everyone has their secrets, especially since this Breathing and Exhaling Technique is peculiar, seamlessly formed under the system panel without any trace of manual refinement.

Besides, it is a set of passive skills.

Without having honed the Breathing and Exhaling Technique to an exceptionally high level, fully grasping its mysteries, he couldn’t find a way to pass it on.

Currently, it remains unique, and it’s his ace in the hole.

Unless unexpected events occur, it will be his most crucial skill in the future.

Without conversation along the way, eight hours later, Lu Ren disembarked from the transport plane, looking up at the distant, endless snow mountains.

He felt a bit dazed, as if the New Year was approaching again.

"Luozi Mountain, huh..."

The area has already been built into a permanent military base, with numerous construction machinery continuously working to expand the base’s area and setting up semi-permanent firepower points for defense.

Countless soldiers armed to the teeth are moving back and forth.

The Essence, Qi, and Spirit overall resemble a fierce troop, a well-trained force!

"Lu Ren!"

In the distance, Xiao Chen excitedly waved to Lu Ren.

Seeing this, Lu Ren walked over to greet him and then directly asked, "When are we going in?"

Xiao Chen replied, "Very soon."

"I need to replenish some equipment."

"No problem, why don’t we have a meal first?"

"No need, first tell me about the information on Luozi Mountain Secret Realm."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen didn’t hesitate.

"Let’s go to the information room to check first."

Three hours later, Lu Ren’s eyebrows rarely furrowed tightly.

Luozi Mountain, this stabilized space nexus, has existed for nearly two years. Numerous departments have been involved in the exploration of this event, and the Security Bureau has merely participated as a combat department, forming a vital part of the combat system.

Or to put it differently, those who can enter the Luozi Mountain Secret Realm are basically all from the Martial Arts Family.

Only martial artists can survive in the perilous regions within and obtain enough information and find valuable things.

Li Ziqing, since entering for the third time, has been missing for nearly two months, without any news.

The Security Department largely concluded he may have already sacrificed himself.

This made Lu Ren feel quite uncomfortable emotionally, but he forcibly suppressed it, as this was Li Ziqing’s own choice, probably entering this Luozi Mountain Exotic Realm with the thought of risking death to achieve rebirth.

After calmly reviewing the data for nearly two hours, Lu Ren’s eyebrows slightly relaxed, yet his mind was greatly shaken.

Inside, it turned out to be the so-called Kunlun Immortal Realm!

"Kunlun?!"

Xiao Chen, smoking beside him, with eyes full of bloodshot due to several sleepless nights, couldn’t help but say, "Yes, the moment you enter, there’s a stone tablet with the words ’Kunlun’ inscribed on it."

He scratched his greasy hair.

"However, according to the Space Monitoring Center’s detection, the secret realm passage here was indeed caused by a space tremor."

Xiao Chen said seriously, "So this is not a small attached space like the one you encountered at Baoguang Temple, relying on this space and formed, but a genuine Exotic Realm."

Meaning, this place named Kunlun is actually a real Great Realm, similar to the Underworld or Extraterritorial Ruins Lu Ren entered before.

Behind is a truly existent large world.

If the space passage here is permanently established, then it would provide Huaxia with an opportunity for another rise.

"Don’t think too much about it."

Xiao Chen slightly shook his head, "Inside Kunlun, the air is filled with extremely complex pulse particles, slightly sophisticated electronic devices are affected, if you want to use such precise equipment, a huge cost for a layer of isolation must be spent."

The implication is simple; drones or sophisticated aerospace equipment cannot operate on the other side.

At least not currently.

At least what Xiao Chen mentioned requires a huge expense, which, for a country, indeed means an extremely significant cost.

That’s why they urgently need martial artists to enter, to greatly increase the survival rate.

Lu Ren was noncommittal; from the initial explorers, inside it is a savage world, encountering many exotic beasts recorded only in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

"Isn’t this a tomb?"

Xiao Chen: "At first, we thought it was a tomb, but after exiting the tomb, we found this world is extremely vast."

They talked until late at night with Xiao Chen, a more adequate understanding of the opposite side in mind, and seeing Xiao Chen really couldn’t hold on anymore, Lu Ren finally spoke.

"Take me to select the equipment."

Xiao Chen’s spirit lifted, "Goodness, you finally said it, if you don’t ask to go in, I feel I’m going to die suddenly."

After all, Lu Ren’s current strength was higher than his, and with the guidance from the Security Bureau’s big shot, Ji Quanzhen, in some respects, Lu Ren’s position was indeed higher than his.

Lu Ren was at a loss for words; after hearing Li Ziqing had been confirmed missing for two months, he instead wasn’t anxious anymore.
